Federal Crime of insider trading (not her, Waxel(sp)). Her buddy from ImClone was under investigation, which is how they came to even look at Martha in the first place. It was a legitimate investigation, and he went down hard. In the course of their investigation they came upon evidence leading them to Martha. When they interviewed her, she lied. That is what she was covincted of - giving knowingly false statements to investigators.

The feds didn't just pull her name out of thin air, people. The $$ trail and communications records trail led them to her. She could have avoided all of this, but she chose not to. Her bad decision cost her millions, and maybe her freedom.

Exactly. If she can be defended here even after realizing that this is what she did, I can understand how Bill Clinton got off as well. He obstructed justice. Stewart obstructed justice by her false statements.


Show 'em my motto!

Huh?

She could have committed a known crime, and gotten away with it, like everyone else usually does, and you recommend that option?
